The character I picked is from a book called Cinder by Marissa Meyer, which is the first of a 4 part series caled The Lunar Chronicles. Set in the future, after the Fourth World War, in a city called New Beijing. Cinder is a cyborg, and the best mechanic in town. She also later turns out to be the rightful heir to the Lunar Kingdom. There is civilization on the moon, and travel is possible between the earth and the moon. There is also a prince, and a ball, but instead of a glass slipper, Cinder leaves behind her metal foot.

Here's a wikipedia link for anyone interested in reading more about Cinder

I confess: I'm obsessed with music and everything there is to know about it. I won't ever pretend to know everything about it, but I do have an insatiable hunger for music knowledge: from whole musical movements to trivial facts about my favorite bands; I love it all!

On my quest for music knowledge I came across this great three-hour-long documentary:

I want to start of by saying that the title is a bit misleading. You might think this is only the story about Kraftwerk and maybe two or three other bands that were influenced by Kraftwerk. But it isn't! It's a comprehensive look at the German music scene of the late sixties (referred to as the "krautrock" scene).
